Totally disagree. I live in a county that went for Trump to the tune of 71.6% so I spoke to plenty of Trump supporters, and not one of them mentioned the emails as a reason for their stance. It was pretty much the economy, the ACA, and a general feeling of neglect from the current administration coupled with the perception that a Clinton administration would essentially be an extension of that one.

Good luck with that sparky.

Our economy is doing better than other western economies on our planet. The ACA was a great first step in providing civilized healthcare beyond all the rich or slaves to big corporations. Should it have been improved of course, but POTUS was dealing with the "eff you at all costs" GOP, so there could be no fixes.

Neglect, I don't think you've seen neglect yet. Welcome to "trump university".

I picture the OP was listening to Simple Plan's "Untitled" song election night.

To the OP. First thing a new born does is face a cold world and cry. I relate but its happening. Together we should take up a good hobby and hope for a great canidate in four years.

How about keeping this all in perspective and getting "devastated" for things that are worth getting devastated over in life like loved one's you know who got a terminal illness, people impacted by life changing accidents, abuse of all stripes, kids who get cancer, military people who have lost limbs and all the other issues many face after seeing war, etc.

Seriously, I think some people need to grow up and put this all in perspective.

What really killed her chances is that a lot of her supporters simply did not vote ! Not sure if they felt they had no reason to as it was in the bag, or what, but many people stayed home this year.
What really killed her chances is that she is a liar and a criminal. Your denial is unbecoming.

Ya know, I don't have children, or grandchildren, but I was raised to have empathy. The world has evolved, and in my opinion, this trump thing might seriously damage our world.

If your idol, Hillary, had won, she would have increased the number of H1-Bs. Your bridge and engineering job would have been more at risk. Trump is already setting up plans to work on visa abuse. Think of it this way with a Trump win, you, no doubt, dodged a bullet where your job is concerned. Ponder that for a while.
